...swallowed. Then I heard him say, Well that's funny Doc, 'cause I'm afraid of you. We were both smiling at this point, learning forward. Doc, he said, why are you afraid of me? I said, I'm afraid of you, John, because you're a mad scientist. Then our retinas locked and I slid down the tunnel of his eyes, and I could feel him walking around in my skull and we both began to laugh.

Senior Editor Michael Demarest, who laid aside his editor's pencil long enough to write the lead story of the flight's significance, had to deal with four children whose godfather, a space scientist involved in getting man to Mars, had made them extremely sophisticated about the precise details of the voyage. Ronald Kriss, whose own two children were no less fascinated by the event, coordinated and edited the stories that, the editors of TIME hope, put into proper perspective last week...

He unveiled his creation as a unit last week, the first time that has been done since Woodrow Wilson's mass announcement in 1913-and the first time ever as a live television show...
NASA will apparently get its money's worth from the current $75 million observatory, which was planned to operate for at least six months. The craft is performing so perfectly, says OAO Project Scientist James Kupperian Jr., that "it now appears that all we have to worry about is the observatory's simply wearing out. It could last for two, three, four or even five years...
